To all fathers in this group, what are your thoughts with this situation I have. I am a mother of a 3yo child, and I already want to have a job. I chose to have at least a home-based job. But my husband disagrees with it, telling me na "di naman kami naghihirap" and "baka mapabayaan ang bata". I feel sad. Am I selfish for wanting this? Home-based na nga lang, ayaw pa.. Natatapakan ba pagkalalake niyo? Im really wondering and confused.. haay..

My husband wants me to just focus on our baby since he's only less than a year old but I still choose to work at home primarily because I don't want to become stagnant. Lucky for me, he completely understands my lament. Just like what Jared said, I agree that you must still fight for what you want to do. Just because you're a mom doesn't mean that you should just be stuck at home, doing domestic jobs. Gone are the days that women are confined at home. Explain gently your side and tell your husband that this can keep you sane, productive and it can increase your self-worth. Stay-at-home moms are more susceptible to depression so I hope your husband understands where you're coming from. Good luck!
